I’ve been gifted a late 60s/ early 70s YSL mink fur coat, it’s mid thigh length and absolutely gorgeous.

Of course I’ll never wear it, does anyone know where I could sell it to get the best price.

Please no lectures on fur, I just don’t want to give this coat away and I’d rather keep it that sell on eBay for a few hundred pounds.

Thanks in advance.

Just adding my name to list if you sell op, please let me know where!

It's beautiful.

I love your idea of turning it into a throw though, please keep the lining too x

It’s beautiful. Wouldn’t buy a new fur but would most definitely wear this. ❤️

@VeganCow I'm with you.
We should never normalise cruelty. Past or present

I have no problem with vintage fur.

I wouldn't buy new fur unless it was a by-product of other activities. Leather is a by product of the meat industry. I recognise it might well be more moral or be vegetarian or vegan but I regularly make less than optimally moral choices. Choosing to wear fur is no less immoral than eating meat, or frankly things like palm oil.

Use of oil in the form of plastic and petrol is hideously immoral. It indirectly causes the painful deaths of many animals and the decimation of habitats. So does the consumption of soya. So too is every flight immoral. Every time you fail to give away every morsel of your income except that which feeds you meagerly and clothes you second hand. And so on and so forth.

We all make lots of immoral choices daily (switched the heating on?) and we all have choices that make us more uncomfortable. It's fine that you choose to point out those choices are immoral but it doesn't somehow make them more or less immoral than all the other information choices we make daily.
